De Kuddes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BY FRANK KOOLEN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ik schenk al mijn actieve tijd aan het bewaken van kuddes.
Een kordate en vaak geruststellende gebeurtenis.
 <\/small>
Een volgende gaat snel rondrennen.
Zonder enige treurnis.
 <\/small>
De actieve tijd die ik besteed aan het bewaken van kuddes,
vergt creativiteit in het waken voor vergissingen.
 <\/small>
Zo is het is mogelijk om elke vergissing,
die tranendal en stress veroorzaken, te elimineren.
 <\/small>
En alle paarden, die voor koeien worden aangezien,
zijn onmiddellijk steriel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Als ik wijk voor te weinig respect,
hebben zij ondertussen mijn broek aangetrokken,
en ontkleed bangmaken dat betekent schandaal.
 
Als tijdelijk allen in de wereld even bang zouden zijn,
dan was er eindelijk geen lef of angst meer nodig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Als ik de schade aan een oud hek zie,
dan weet ik hoe lang dat hek in die wei er staat.
 
Als tijdelijk al de delen schadevrij zouden zijn,
dan had ik eindelijk eens wat meer tijd over.
 
Ik zou de haan dwingen om weg te gaan.
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waar kan ik mee varen
in een kring van bankstellen?
 
Als eindelijk alles eens een keer
van echte gelijkenis zou zijn,
dan had ik geen lef en geen aarde meer nodig.
 
Die zeepkist van niets stel ik vast in op vloed.
Aan een paal bij waar ik woon.
 
De ringen die ik waarneem veranderen voortdurend,
omdat de beweging van de rimpels
door de kudde
voortdurend wordt verstoord.
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alles aan deze wereld is gemeen, zeg ik.
Maar niets in deze wereld staat op zichzelf.
 
Als tijdelijk alles in deze wereld van steen zou zijn,
dan had ik eigenlijk geen bril en geen waakzaamheid meer nodig.
 
Elk afschuwelijk deel van deze wereld
wordt dan begroet door andere delen nabij.
Dat komt door de vormgeving waarin het weiland ligt bestraat.
 
Zelfs als ik de hond van de buurman een enkele steen
naar mijn wei zie verplaatsen, maak ik daar iets uit op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His work is characterized by sudden impulses and associations related to a place, an encounter, or a question, which are then translated as directly as possible into a sculpture, installation, performance, or video. His practice is an ongoing exploration of unexpected logic, where play, interaction, and humor play a significant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
